ZomboDB is a native Postgres extension, written in Rust with PGRX, that uses Elasticsearch as a Postgres index type to bring powerful text search and analytics to relational data. It manages remote Elasticsearch indices transactionally via standard SQL commands like CREATE INDEX, with its own ZQL query language and query builder API.

Use cases

• add full-text search to postgres tables
• query postgres data with elasticsearch
• keep elasticsearch index in sync with postgres transactions
• run aggregations and analytics on relational data via elasticsearch
• search across multiple postgres tables with cross-index joins
• use elasticsearch query DSL from SQL

When to choose

• you already run Postgres and Elasticsearch and want transactionally-correct search without building sync pipelines
• you want to manage search indices entirely through SQL
• you need Elasticsearch aggregations, scoring, and highlighting over relational data

When to avoid

• you don't use Postgres or don't want an Elasticsearch dependency
• you need a simple standalone search engine without a database
• you require official binary installs without sponsoring the project
